What is there to celebrate?

An editorial in the Canadian Free Press by Alan Caruba asks a very poignant question in regards to all the celebrations going on in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Cuba's enslavement. Unlike most of the other journalists who in their quest to appease the regime avoid the nasty and dirty details of the revolution's atrocities, Mr. Caruba asks: what is there to celebrate?

Fidel Castro is now 82 years old and in poor health. His brother Raul runs the country. The loathsome butcher, Che Guevara, has long since been anointed the symbol of revolution communist-style. How many Cubans were executed by the “revolution” or jailed will never been known.

Cuba is the antithesis of freedom. So one has to ask, what is there to celebrate on the fiftieth anniversary of the oppression of the Cuban people?

That is a good question.

The answer, very little.

"How many Cubans were executed by the “revolution” or jailed will never been known."

But it will eventually, and all the American academics, clerics, and journalists who covered it up can either hang their heads in shame or scramble to rationalize their behavior. And all the Euroweenies and Canaweenies who have been vacationing there all these years can do the same.

That editorial would get an F-minus under Henry's grading system for news articles.
